GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., Oct. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- It's officially autumn and while some have been drinking up fall flavors for months, at Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews, we believe some things are worth the wait. The Gourmet Burger Authority™ is thrilled to raise a stein and welcome back one of its most popular gourmet burgers, The Oktoberfest, to menus nationwide for a limited-time through Oct. 31. The Oktoberfest features a fire-grilled gourmet burger topped with ham and melted Swiss on an artisan pretzel bun with beer mustard, caramelized onions and shredded romaine lettuce.

"We've received an overwhelming number of requests to bring back The Oktoberfest burger after its initial run on the menu five years ago," said Dana Benfield, chief marketing officer Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews. "We want our guests to know their requests have been heard loud and clear, and we are excited to reintroduce this German-inspired burger on an improved artisan pretzel bun that will have our guests feeling like they're celebrating from the heart of Munich."

In addition to the Oktoberfest Burger, Red Robin is offering a variety of deals and specials for guests to take advantage of throughout fall. Every Wednesday, for a limited-time, kids can eat for only $1.99 with adult entrée purchase. The offer includes a choice of any kids' menu entrée along with a Bottomless beverage and side when dining-in at participating restaurants nationwide.
